2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

Salvation - 1 Peter 1:3-12

Salvation in the Greek is soteria it's reference in 196 different occurrences of the Bible. Soteria translates to rescue, safety, deliver, health, salvation, save and saving.

So to continue from the previous post we can't see Faith, Salvation or Grace. These words are concepts, nouns, products of God, things that we work with and work out within our limited minds and our limitless spirits. Faith is us putting to practice and work out choice to follow and God equipping us to do that work for which we are called. Ephesians 2:8-10For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. It means following the will of God for our lives by following the Word of God so that we find calling and purpose. If we follow God's Word we allow God to lead us and opportunities present themselves that God wants for us.

Now one of those is Salvation. It is an opportunity provided by God. Salvation is freely given from God through Jesus. From our choice to hold our Faith, our Trust in His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead.

Here are some things to look at in regards to Salvation:

1 Peter 1:5 - It's guarded by our Faith and will be revealed in the last days.
1 Peter 1:4 - It's imperishable (guaranteed), undefiled (pure, can't spoil), and unfading (won't / can't wear out), untouchable (protected in heaven), long lasting (eternal)
1 Peter 1:9 - It flourishes as an outcome of Faith
Romans 6:22-23 - Is a result of God's Grace
1 Peter 1:10 and Luke 10:24 - Was foretold by the prophets
1 Peter 2:9 - Separates us from the world
Hebrews 5:9 - Jesus is our source of eternal salvation

The first reference of Salvation is Genesis 49:18, the last reference is Revelation 22:17.

All of that denotes that God provides the Salvation. Jesus name also means to deliver, to rescue and salvation. Just look at the story of Zacchaeus in Luke 19:9 to be specific. And so He is salvation. Jesus the perfect sacrifice makes us who Trust, Sons and Daughters, family without which we have no inheritance, but in verse 4 of 1 Peter 1 we do have that inheritance so we are family. Psalms and the Old Testament when speaking of salvation say it's God's. But for our our time, not then, but now. It's intangible. We will see it's result in the revelation at our final calling, when Jesus returns.

From start to finish the Bible focuses on God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit from end to end. Exodus 15:2 - God has become our salvation, this if from the Song of Moses. Isaiah 12:2 - Putting our trust in God for our salvation. Let me leave you with a few references more to look over. Luke 1:76-77 - John the Baptist was sent to proclaim the coming of Salvation (Jesus)to the world. Ephesians 6;17 - We wear the Helmet of Salvation - sign of who we belong to and a protection against death. Titus 2:11-15 - Salvation is freely available to all. 1 Peter 2:1-2 - We grow into our salvation.

Salvation is freely available to all who will Trust in Jesus and put their Faith in what He did to abolish sin and death. Accept it and Live it before it's too late.
